6 year old with lump under left breast. Very worried.

[blooshboon]

Just bathed DD, 6 in July.

noticed her left nipple is bigger than her right and there’s a lump underneath it.

now I do have health anxiety, so I haven’t googled, and I do intent to call GP tomorrow but was just wondering if anyone has had anything similar?? Lump feels like the size of a 50P, and it’s painful or tender for her.

I am aware of breast buds, but I wouldn’t of thought this was possible at not even 6 yet! She is my first and only child, so can’t go off what happened with other kids or anything. Thank you.

I can't help, but you are definitely doing the right thing taking her to the GP. Hope it turns out to be nothing x

It’s a good sign that it’s painful to touch. More sinister lumps are often painless.

It could be a cyst or something but you’re definitely sensible to get the GP to o check it out. Good luck.

@OMGtimes3that was a typo. It isn’t painful or tender.

It’s not painful or sore, and also the lump moves around as I squeezed it either side. It’s visibly swollen too. I dont know wether to call 111 to get an appointment at OOH

Dd has has many lumps in her breast. Now a teenager. The gp advices to get every lump checked out, at one point they did refer her to the hospital but it was nothing to worry about. A few have gone on to be painful due to becoming infected but not many. I was reasured that teenagers getting breast cancer is very rare.
